Newb ?
I've searched. What were the changes that were made in 06. I thought I heard, the parking in reverse battery prob and something in the rear end? Thanks for any assistance. -Wade-

I believe GM eliminated the shift to reverse/park feature and there is a new "stronger" rear dif case.

For future reference, you might want to title your thread with what you're really after.

Sorry, I can't answer that. I just save interesting information about C6s that I think someone might find useful in the future. This forum should be the right place for someone else who knows a little more about these things to answer that for you.
For future reference, you might want to title your thread with what you're really after.
